    I like the point, about Four minutes in, when the two adult musicians realize that they are playing with a serious trumpet player and get down to business themselves. A very good trio.

    Today I got to play in a concert with this kid. He is mind-blowing for his age. Right before the last song in the concert, me and one of my friends did a trio with Geoff for a thank-you song for the conductor. It was a moment that I wouldn't forget.

    Great performance by all. Love Nikki on bass always. Wonderful of Rossano Sportiello to give such high praise to Geoff, he deserves it.

    Man, I'm gonna have to get my jaw fixed. When I heard this young man's playing it hit the floor so hard ... Geoff will be a MAJOR talent if he keeps going.

    This isn't just taught. This is feeling, All credit to the adults who fed of Geoff and produced a great sound. I do hope that the future allows him to express his ability to play his own interpretation of the sounds around him. Signed a Miles Davis fan

      I'm sure he had great teachers, started when he was six and practiced all day. He sure knows the chord tone arpeggios. All great players had great teachers, in one form or another and they practiced constantly.

    • @Gk2003m
      @Gk2003m 3 года назад +4

      But David, it goes beyond the chord tones and the teachers. In the first five seconds of his playing, you hear an **understanding**.

    • @zugrath16
      @zugrath16 3 года назад +2

      Yeah he really has a great sense of phrasing. It's not just a bunch of licks, he really knows how to start an idea and develop it in his solo. Everything feels "coherent" in a way. Having that skill as an 11 year old is pretty crazy.

    This stuff brings tears to my eyes every single time I watch it, which I periodically do.
    I love the face of the bass lady at the start of the solo, and the words of Rossano at the end of the song "but THIS GUY..." lol

    @Uniprnt 8 лет назад +14

    Just the endurance for approx 6 min of playing is absolutely incredible. Just keeping the riffs going for a period of 2 min would exhaust most mature players. The speed of fingers and his attack is fabulous. This comes not only from extensive hours of practice but from great teaching and an inborn connection he has with sound, rhythm and that ever sought after connection. Listen to his Pennies from Heaven if you want more. Look forward to seeing him years into the future.

    @johnnicholls5344 Год назад +2

    Hey the piano player and bass player did such a good job supporting this truly gifted kid. The trumpeter played in C but that meant the pianist and bassist had to do it all in the key of B flat which is quite a feat in itself since they would normally play it in C.

    LITTLE JAZZ GENIUS ON TRUMPET
    At the Shanghai Jazz restaurant in New Jersey, the greats Nikki Parrot on double bass and Rossano Sportiello on piano play a duo. An 11-year-old boy, Geoff Gallante, comes over and asks to play the standard version Cheek to cheek. They start and it doesn't take two minutes to realize that they are in front of a true prodigy of the art of improvisation.

    Beside seeing Geoff's incredible talent, I was delighted to see that, when he is giving Rossano the tempo he wanted him to play the song the public laughed thinking "this young kid thinks he is a great jazz player". That gives me an idea of how surprised they must have been when they heard him play.

    Geoff Gallante is incredible, although these "enfants prodige" do appear relatively often. Not always do they keep the pace with their early promises. Geoffrey has - of course - already a language that belongs to a well formed adult good jazzman. May he persevere and create his own voice that may meet the expectations arising from this already very high level. It is evident -talking of Rossano Sportiello, the pianist- that Rossano did not know this little guy.. who, on the contrary, seems to be already famous. An impressive aquaintance moment. May it turn into history.
